Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Niemira is an engineering manager with 11+ years of experience modernizing infrastructure, reducing tech debt, and translating complex technical problems into business-aligned solutions. He has led multi-cloud infrastructure and tooling initiatives at Oracle and now at Formation Bio, building Terraform/Packer/Ansible-driven standards, custom CMDB and IAM tools, and measurable practices for cloud cost and compliance. Comfortable reversing proprietary systems or designing security training, Chris combines deep internet-technology fundamentals with an MBA fluency for finance and business impact. He started his career running massive email platforms and brings a pragmatic "ops before buzzwords" mentality—engineering as a tool to enable outcomes rather than an end in itself. An unexpected strength is his creative background in film (MFA), which informs clear storytelling and communication when translating technical complexity for stakeholders.
